The other day at work, I was preparing for a meeting and needed to collate some print outs. I headed into the production room to sort the pages and then staple them together. I reach over and grab the stapler... + more

A while back I wrote about AT&T’s new billboards and how ridiculous I think they are. I saw these billboards as a cheap effort for AT&T to cash in on buzzwords and the public not knowing any better. I even... + more

Voters in Kansas City have bewildered me. For as long as I’ve lived in Kansas City, a man named Clay Chastain has been fighting to get light rail transit built. It’s been in front of voters many times, each time... + more

It seems that more and more these days I’m getting spammed. I get email spams at home on un-used email addresses. I get email spams at work. I get comment spam (not as much anymore, though). I even get contact... + more

In July, as I was installing Adobe CS2 on my PC at work, I encountered a few hiccups. In software, that’s to be expected. But now that I installed CS2 on my mac, I’m beginning to think that the people... + more

Today marked the first time in about two years that the Air Show has returned to Kansas City. Not to make waste of the day, I ventured over to the New Tragedies’ place and viewed some of the planes from... + more

As I’ve noted in the past, I enjoy reading the Sunday paper. The most I look at the paper during the week is over lunch, and that’s because me and my lunchmates work the crossword puzzle, wordy gurdy, jumble and... + more

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with shopping carts. As a child I would ride inside of them while my mother shopped at the grocery store. When I was big enough (translated: even today), I would... + more

I’m almost speechless... almost. I know I said I wasn’t going to blog for a while, but this was just too ridiculous to let go by. Can someone, preferably someone who works for UNLV, tell me why white lines were... + more

Getting new (or updates to) software is one of the silliest, yet coolest, feelings a tech nerd can have. There’s nothing quite like unwrapping the box, plopping that cd (or dvd) into your computer’s drive and installing whatever new program.... + more

One of the main themes of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is the notion that emerging technologies are starting to take over the world. What once was a stable facet is being pushed aside for the next big thing.... + more

I wake up on Tuesday morning and head into my normal routine. Get up, check email, eat breakfast, shower, get ready for work and fix my lunch. On this particular Tuesday, I felt like I was missing an early meeting... + more

Remember a couple of months ago, when I moved? I sure do. It’s not like it wasn’t a big deal. I had to pack boxes, rent a moving truck, coerce friends into helping me move all my stuff up two... + more

Last weekend was “the” second semi-annual camping trip. Last year, in the fall, we camped at Long Pool in Arkansas. This year, in an attempt to cater to those of us traveling from Kansas City, we decided to set up... + more

You’re hauling ass down the highway, cursing at someone going too slow in the left lane, text messaging someone and BAM, you see one of the new AT&T Billboards. You read it, “blogging delivered,” and you start to ponder about... + more

If you haven’t noticed the web world around you, some new and exciting things are taking place. I’m referring to Web 2.0 – or what we are coining the second phase of architecture and application development for the web (RSS,... + more

Yesterday, out of the blue, I received this comment to the post about my recent troubles with Commerce Bank: Seth, I googled my last name “Gunderson” and you came up :( By you blog you sound super lame. It is... + more

You park your car in the same spot every day with no problems. Then, one day, you pull out of your parking spot and notice there’s a pool of thick black liquid where your car was. It’s oil and your... + more

When washing my face this morning, I noticed that my Target brand Deep Clean Cream Cleanser (compare to Neutrogena Deep Clean® Cream Cleanser) had the following phrase on the front of the bottle: Won’t Clog Pores First off, if we’re... + more

Until yesterday, I had been without a debit card for over three weeks now. It was hard to go back to the days of college where you only had an ATM, but what sucked even worse was the response (or... + more

January26

Because the commercial that showed a Jeep getting blown out of a volcano wasn’t enough to show how rugged a Jeep really is... there’s a new commercial that shows how versatile Jeeps are, because now they can drive UNDERWATER!!! Wait,... + more

The following is a (slightly embellished) conversation I had, the other morning, when purchasing some Sudafed from a local Walgreens Drug store... Seth: (handing Sudafed ticket to WalgreensMan) Since when do I have to get Sudafed from behind the counter?... + more

December04

Yesterday I went and did a little Christmas shopping up in North Kansas City (Scoot’s a dick) Kansas City, North. Whenever I go up there, and I feel a twinge of hunger coming on, I make a pilgrimage to the... + more

Patience is a virtue and I like to think of myself as a patient man. Granted, I don’t enjoy waiting for buses and I loathe bad/idiotic drivers, but I’m generally a patient person. Maybe there’s varying degrees of patience, because... + more

November28

Well, Thanksgiving is over and that means the mad dash for Christmas, Chanukah, Festivus, etc. is on. I already reported that I was going to buy nothing on Black Friday... though my father did buy me new tires for my... + more

November22

Can you feel it? It’s coming. Thanksgiving is nearly here. We’re talking turkey, pecan pie, parades, football and the dreaded Black Friday. Will you be shopping on Friday? I used to. I used to really love the idea of getting... + more

Surprise, surprise. It was only a matter of time. We all knew it was going to happen – another great sitcom on Fox being cut back and probably cancelled – and it finally has. Fox announced that it has cut... + more

I think most of us were surprised when ABC and Disney announced that they were going to offer television shows on iTunes... those of us normal consumers, that is. Imagine how shocked major television stations were when they discovered how... + more

Ever since I reported receiving comment spam last week, I’ve started to notice some odd things about the spammed comments that have been submitted. It’s not so much the names of the commenters, or the way the comment(s) are structured,... + more

In Fayetteville, there’s a mexican restaurant (that my mother used to drag me to all the time) called Jose’s. It’s a staple of Fayetteville and especially of Dickson Street. Over the years, Joe, the owner, would be the voice talent... + more

Among the not-so-many things that I did this weekend, I finally took my car in to get its oil changed. I’ve never found a place that I prefer to go to over and over, and frankly, I’m beginning to think... + more

Greed is everywhere, especially in the online music world... let’s take a look at some recent stories – iPod nanos cost about $90 to make, Cingular wants a music download service (with "slightly higher" prices), and then there’s this gem:... + more

One of these days I’m going to own a television station. It’ll be mega-sweet, I’ll own a good one that plays good television shows and classic movies. You’ll always want to watch it and you’ll be upset when you miss... + more

Over the summer, my Saturdays have become very lazy and mopey. I usually lay around my place reading, catching up on tv or viewing films... oh, and there’s a healthy dose of being online in there, too. I don’t necessarily... + more

Standards. We all have them. We all live by them. In fact, I think we all need standards to simply function in life (some more than others). But I'm not just talking life rules, norms and morays, there's so much... + more

It's been a year (or more, actually) and I had until the end of July to get my license plate(s) renewed for another year. It was only last year that I had so much freaking trouble getting my car “official,”... + more

An article in today’s paper finally prompted me to write an entry about this. I doubt most will agree with me (as has been proven in the past), but it’s something I’ve bitched and complained about for some time. Anyone... + more

Make sure you go check out the NEW PT Cruiser over on CNN.com. It's pretty newsworthy – you can tell because it's on the front page. Front page = newsworthy. CNN = credible at all times. Didn't you know that?... + more

For the longest time now I've thought that toilet paper manufacturers were missing the mark when it came to marketing their products. If you think about it, they were actually WAY off the mark. In the past, you were apparently... + more

Imagine, if you will, the grass outside your house is getting very tall. You COULD go outside and mow it... but maybe it's too hot, or maybe you don't have time, or maybe you don't even care. Regardless of the... + more

Those of you tired of seeing stupid-ass stories on national news, please, raise your hand. Right, looks like about all of you. The whole Terry Schiavo story, while sad, annoyed me because I didn't think it deserved all of the... + more

Appalachian State University, in Boone, North Carolina, must have a very hard time recruiting perspective students to walk through their door. If that statement was true for the past, I guarantee that it's not the case anymore! I present to... + more

This is becoming absurd. The pink jersey story has been covered nationally – it's been on SI, ESPN, major newspapers on the East and West coasts and even good ol' Rush Limbaugh weighed in on it (the same guy who... + more

Has something ever happened that offended you? Probably so. Has something ever happened and you were so offeneded that you mentioned it to someone? Eh... maybe. But has something ever happened, and it made you and your organization so upset,... + more

"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. Having said that, all options are on the table," Bush said. Does that include the option of getting ready to attack Iran? I assume the... + more

Is it me, or do you think it's weird too that some guy came up from trying to wrestle a ball away from a high schooler, with his fist cocked back ready to punch the 17 year-old? This, just merely... + more

Last week, for the first time in about a year, I was sick. I can't stand being sick (as you may have read in yesterday's post), and when I am sick I'd rather not miss work. Last Wednesday, I had... + more

With a sore throat and noisy upstairs neighbors, sometimes it's quite hard to sleep... tonight being one of them. So what's one to do when exhausted and in desperate need of sleep? They post a blog entry about our dear... + more

This whole war in Iraq has been a big deal to most Americans. It was a centerpiece of the recent Presidential election. And now with reports that the United States may send troops into Iran, some Americans are really starting... + more

There's a commercial that I've seen on TV for a while now that just bothers me to no end (not really THAT much, but it bothers me – 'to no end' was an elaboration). The commercial is for a Jeep... + more

A while back, I posted the news about how to receive a FREE iPod. The premise is simple: complete an offer and then get five friends to complete an offer, and you get a FREE iPod. So, I signed up,... + more

Yooooo! It's been a while since I've updated, and I apologize, but I don't think anyone was beating down the door, holding their breath and wishing that I'd go ahead and update. Seriously. So, what's new? Well, first off, on... + more

Last night I went and watched my friend Stephen Milton perform in this year's Shakespeare in the Park. It's a yearly production that is performed for free (donations are very welcome) in Southmoreland Park ̵ just west of the Nelson-Atkins... + more

It's been a while since I moved into my new place. January, in fact, was when I moved. By count, that's five months ago. When I relocated, I transferred all of my bills/utilities to my new place, since that's the... + more

Well, well, well. I FINALLY have new license plates for my car. But it came with a hefty price tag, and lots (and I mean LOTS) of annoyances. It was about all I could take, and then it seemed to... + more
